For the second year in a row, Continental Tire will hand over the Twitter reigns to a driver for the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Ryan Dalziel, driver of the No. 1 Patron ESM HPD Prototype (P) in the Tudor United SportsCar Championship, will commandeer Continental Tire’s Twitter account (@continentaltire) for the duration of the race week. Dalziel will give fans a behind-the-scenes look into what a driver is thinking and doing, on- and off-track. Dalziel’s tweets will be designated using #RDalziel.

“To have the insight of a championship driver like Ryan is remarkable,” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental Tire. “Ryan’s knowledge and passion for sports car racing is second to none, and we’re grateful to have him as part of our social media team for this year’s Rolex 24 at Daytona. We encourage fans to interact with Ryan throughout the race week, and we look forward to his perspective in real-time.”

Dalziel will tweet on paddock happenings and his journey through the 24-hour race. Fans are also encouraged to submit questions to @continentaltire for Dalziel using #RDalziel, as he will entertain questions.

“I am honored to be chosen as part of Continental Tire’s social media activities,” said Dalziel. “They are a really fun brand, so I look forward to taking over for the Rolex 24 Hour weekend and giving everyone the behind-the-scenes tweets. I’ll do my best to give you before- and after-stint updates, along with who I’m angry at on track, which during 24 hours, can be many drivers. Hope everyone enjoys the updates.”
